i'm looking to assemble my first rack system over the next few months, which will consist exclusively of effects for use with guitar (and sometimes synths), and am trying to decide on the reverb(s) and delay(s) i'll go with.
i've done a bunch of reading on the various kinds of units available, but all that did was only confuse me more. for reverbs, i'm mainly considering lexicon, but have also thought about bricasti and ams. for delays, i'm looking at a pair of pcm42's and a 2290. i also have an sdd-3000.
in the lexicon range, can someone talk me through the sonic differences between the pcm 60, 70, 80, 81, 90, 91? my understanding is that the 60 and 70 are more 'organic', which i'm thinking may be better suited to guitar, and share something with the older 224, while the latter ones may have more of a refined/processed sound. i've also looked at the bricasti m7, but haven't heard enough demos with a guitar to warrant the big price. also have looked at the legendary ams rmx16, but i just don't know enough about it. i think lexicon will be a safe bet for now.
as far as delays go, are the pcm42 and 2290 a solid combo? as mentioned, i also have a korg sdd-3000 which i love, but i'm not sure i'll include it in this rack- i'd like to get a second one and run them together for another project.
what are some other delays you guys recommend checking out? i like the character some of the older rack delays have and generally am not a fan of pristine ones. is there anything that can do a sort of tape or analog type sound, albeit with more control than pedals would give?
i can get a pretty nice tape/analog sound on the sdd-3000 if i set the filters right and add a touch of modulation- i really like that-, but am wondering what else might be out there.
